For the first time, you can buy The Message in a ministry-edition format. Sold only in case quantities (21 copies per case), these ministry editions can be purchased in bulk for church outreach programs, Sunday school classrooms, mission trips, as giveaways for new believers or visitors, or for any ministry purpose. With double columns and verse numbered paragraphs, this ministry edition offers the church an affordable Bible to give to those who are new to God's Word, are curious about reading God's Word, are curious about reading The Message, or just need a reading Bible to understand Scripture.
